Bosch Dishwasher Part Identication (Leak/RCD tripped).

[stevesey]

My daughter reported an E15 error - popped down to have a look and it seemed ok and started a quick cycle but tripped the RCD after 5 mins (they did report a trip a few days ago but reset it and nothing happens since). Took front panel etc off and can see some water in the base. Everything at the front looks dry/sealed with no drips. But at the back I can see a black box that goes across the width of the machine and has some gunge/drips on the right hand side. Google isn't helping much in identifying what this is.

Anyone know what this is, how easy to replace (assuming that is the cause).

TIA.

Is that the salt container?

Nope - salt is front left. This black thing goes right across the back (so is behind the salt on the left side - although on that side it's clean and dry not wearing).

Looks to be the collection tray feeding the main circulation pump .?

Hmm - found it here.

Described as "Weight" so a counterweight for the door! So looks like it's not that that's leaking but getting dripped on - need to have another look - but not much above it - just the main body so possibly a seal there.

So a hose or the main body/sump? Possibly the distribution tank thingy at the side.

So further dismantling make it look like it's the join between the base and the side/rear panels (the top of the weight is also covered in the yellow fatty stuff). So as you say main body joins.

Both back and side plastic seems to be bowing out with the gap contains fatty muck.

Time for a new dishwasher - bit disappointed as I think this one is only about 7 years old.

There is a tank repair kit that consists of metal straps and seals to help when they leak like yours. As long as the tripping has stopped.
